I went back to work today. I didn't mind the idea of returning to the daily grind of casino service and support. However, my first day back at work was spent on an install of new games. It didn't go as well as it could have. The casino hadn't installed enough electrical circuits. We were supplied with 3 circuits, when we needed 8. Let's do the math. Fourteen games plus three 40-inch LCDs, 2 media controllers and 1 progressive controller, drawing a total of 128 amps of current. Three circuits? Only if each circuit can carry more than 42 amps. Not good, since the three circuits we had only supplied 20 amps each. Oops. Finally accepting that it wasn't going to happen today, I gave up and headed home. I will try again tomorrow, and hopefully, the casino will have added enough circuits for the work to get done. I love job security...
Our blog is about movies, photography, sports, faith, politics and grassroots issues, but typically about family, our three sons, work or our menagerie. Some people call the household "Doug's Ark", so take that for what it is...
Go, Vikings! The contributors to this blog are looking forward to the football strike ending and Christian Ponder becoming the franchise quarterback who beats the odds to lead the team to success. Go Christian! (Y'know, I really like the sound of that).
